Ah, I cannot get the template I chose to be the background for my blog. I keep getting the template to show, and then my old blog template and text is shown as I scroll down trying to find where the text went. Where in my blog do I paste?

hiI seem to have a unique problem.... my sidebar seems to be tagging along at the bottom of the posts. Any ideas? I have seen it happen in other places sometimes and it happened when i appended my own sidebar contents into your template.Help!

I have finally managed to change my site template thanks to the advice of Nomaadic in these comments. You should really update your advice to include this as it would have saved me an hour or two of increasing frustration. I know have just two problems as far as I can see, I cannot get the main Hong Kong skylane to appear across the top and my comment links seem to have a problem. Can you help me with these please?Kind regards.Divichttp://dogotheredotcom.blogspot.com/

Problem solved when i switched back to "classic template"... when using blogger beta, when u want to edit html under templates, at the bottom of the page, there's this link "revert to classic template" or something like tat.. so click that and it would switch back to original blogger. and just follow his instructions.

I'm using Aman's Quilt design and Hearts N Flower design. Both has clean and neat layouts.. it was a good template. Fabulous!! Thanks darling~!

I was looking around and i couldn't sleep. Beside, I love your splash templates. I tried to upload it but it wouldn't let me because it's a zip file. I would appreciate if you let me know how to fix this situation. Please email me with info to fix.

Hello! I'm Mew Kathy, and I'm ten. (I know you are probably older than me, but I know HTML pretty well) I really love your templates, but they don't really match my blog. You see, my blogs have stories that I wrote on them, and I thought it would be cool if the template consisted of a picture of a character in my book. I really want to know how you make those awesome templates. Don't take offence of what I have said, but would you please tell me how to make a template?

Mew Kathy(P.S: If you agree to show me how to make a template, you can post a comment on either one of my blogs.)

I have errors in my new done template which have the following msg: Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly. XML error message: The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup.

I am having only one little snafu in my template. I love it completely but it won't let me add anything to the sidebar. I need to add a ring that I am in as well as my glitter banner. They are currently showing up in each post instead. How do I fix this?

I cannot replace the url in the notepadI´m triying to use the "rain" templateI don´t know if you had explained how to do it before,it´s because I don´t understand a lot of englishPlease, if you could help me, I would be very thankfull

I have a solution for you. If you create blog, it switches you to the new version, alternatelly coded. Allyou haveto do is to switch to the "classic template" and there to paste all code, realyy all codes availableon many blogs outthere and these too.

Any suggestions? I love this template dearly and would be ecstatic if I could get some help on how to make it work.

Are you using new layouts or old blogger? If you are using new blogger, then get the javascript code for the counter and chatbox, then click "add a page element" link in page layouts and select "HTML/javascript" element and paste all the code there.

Hi, I followed all the steps but seem to end up with only a pink background. Do you know where I am going wrong?Step 3 says: 'After uploading Copy the URL (without the file name.) which appears in the textbox below the uploaded image;'

so what exactly should I remove from this URL?http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x273/Emnhals_photo/sp_header.jpgthanks in advance

I'm using your rain template. I've got everything to load on a test blog using the classic template. Is there a way I can load it onto my existing blog without losing all my previous posts? I'm using the new blogger format. Email is under my profile.

Yes, these are great templates...thanks! I wish the images were already hosted though like this site. It is great because you only need to upload the template and thats it. Check it out. Lots of free high quality blog templates!

"Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly. XML error message: The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup."

Thanks for these lovely designs, and for the very detailed how-to guide as well. I'm currently using Maroon for my fanblog Cartas y Dibujos con la Familia Lucido, while I'm taking my pick over Hearts N Flowers, Tea and Biscuit, Pink and Chocolate Delight for my main blog Kaligayahan.

Hi, I chose the chocolate delight template. I went through the instructions but my blog is not showing the images. The background is coming completely white. Although I can access the images using the link in the script separately in a browser even then I am not being able to see the theme on my blog. Please help.

nice templates ! actualy they are many many templates on the net but yesterday i found the best collection of blogger templates on http://focus-online.blogspot.com/ they are really like premium templates ! maybe i am wrong because i am new blogger ! sorry

I have followed all the instructions for the beach template. I even go the error as you said in your last step of instructions so I clicked revert to classic template. Now I just have a black background with my usual text. How do I get the beach picture to show?

Hey Buddy,I appreciate ur hard work.I juz applied splash to my template but rolled back to my custom one.The splash was amazing but it was not aligned in the center rather on the left. Didn't look good enuf.Hope u can help me wid tht.Plus my fonts bcome a lil invisible so hope u can help wid tht too. Thnx mate :-)

I'm so sorry to bother you, but when I tried using the Splash template, my entire blog disappears, and I was wondering how I can fix that since I followed the instructions exactly (Or maybe I messed up somewhere?)

hi~ thinking of using your splash template. after i put the pics using my photobucket and all, it works. but the prob is the header and all the text is at the left side while the background image is at the centre. tried fixing the code amateur style but failed miserably. any help is much appreciated!!

hey, I copy and paste my original content-wrapper tags into the same section of the new template, like what you did in the tutorial video. but this line comes out: More than one widget was found with id: Header1. Widget IDs should be unique.
